From my other posts you know i just bought a street rod, and trying to identify what was used etc.
I was looking at the frame and found it has a 120 inch wheel base, and searched and found that all GM A body platforms had 120 in wheel bases. Is there a VIN number or serial number located on a frame anywhere?
Looking at the engine mounts, trans mount and rear end, it looks like a complete gm drivetrain, gotta see if i can see the block casting date and vin too.
Are you thinking they did a frame swap from some newer car?

On top of the frame right in front of the steering box should be a serial number. Might be hard to read. Use a drill with a wire wheel to locate it. Seen it in that location on a few.
Yeah, there is no way its a 41 Chrysler frame, looks suspiciously like a Astro Van or S10 at least some of the stuff under there does, the cross member is really narrow, i was thinking it was 78-81 Monte Carlo, but my son has a 79 Monte and the frame looks nothing like this one. Here are some pics maybe you guys have seen something like it before.Quote:

the answer to why doesnt the speedo work, is that it was never hooked up, the wire is still coiled on the cross member. i think the little box on the front left frame rail is some kind of anti lock brake thing that i have seen on some GM cars.
the crossmember is`nt stock and you have a 9 inch ford rear .. you have a real hodgepodge of stuff there ..
